17th Shard Secret Santa! -- closed

[Kestrel she/her]

This might cut things a bit short for Christmas, but I'm going to host a creative secret santa!
My only requirements are that you do your part and make the dates, although I understand if its not possible.

This will be for art, writing, music, anything artsy and creative! You don't have to be good, I'm not pairing based on skill.

I will pair people by Sunday and you should get a pm with your partner by Monday. Turn in your work on Christmas by posting in the thread or sending it to your person via pm!

Also, I will need a few people who'll be willing to do an extra piece, just in case we end up with an odd number.

A question: How do we make sure that one person doesn't get more than one gift?

Edit: Got the answer!

Edited December 18, 2015 by Venture Mistborn

[Kestrel she/her]

Oc: I don't know what that is.

oc stands for original character! If you have a character you've made that fits one of the Sanderson novels or a character for yourself, put it here.

An example would be the wolf in my icon; I use him for nearly every wolf rp I join now, or my coinshot Alahya.

Edit;; Ven (and anyone who's filled out the OC column) can you add references/description of characters there? So people don't have to dig; it's all in one place.

Edited December 18, 2015 by Seonid

[Kestrel she/her]

Please describe any ocs you have/provide pictures

@Seonid what's an Edassa short story?

[Kobold King he/him]

Please describe any ocs you have/provide pictures

 

 

Updated accordingly with a link to my primary OC post.

[Kestrel she/her]

Everyone should be up to date!

[Seonid he/him]

Part of me is tempted to let that stand just to see what folks like Kobold have to say about it. But I'm not cruel like that.

 

Edassa is a setting I'm writing in. I ran a roleplay in it on the Shard once upon a time (it may have even been before you joined - that makes me feel old...) It seemed to be rather popular in its day...*wistful sigh*

 

Anyways, a few people reported interest in reading more stuff set in the world, and I thought it might be a nice time to do that for them.

 

I'll get descriptions up later.

[Kobold King he/him]

Part of me is tempted to let that stand just to see what folks like Kobold have to say about it. But I'm not cruel like that.

 

 

I'm not good at descriptions. I would have just defaulted to "Seonid's awesome fantasy setting where there are gods, reincarnated familiar spirits, and really awesome magics."

[Kestrel she/her]

Oh cool. Yeah, that'll work. Marked you down for a possible second.

 

Made a few changes to the form. Nothing major, though.

[The Honor Spren she/her]

How much description should I include in the OCs?

And pictures are coming.

[RippleGylf she/her]

Oh cool. Yeah, that'll work. Marked you down for a possible second.

Should I add my favorite characters, then?

 If you have pictures, description isn't necessary

yep
